Subject:  Qs: Morphemes and tones


Dagbani (Gur, Niger-Congo) is a two-tone language of Northern Ghana.
Typical nouns have a monosyllabic or disyllabic stem plus a
(monosyllabic) nominal class suffix. It seems that each morpheme has
not more than one tone, at least on the surface, which spreads if
there is more than one TBU.  Are there other languages which
illustrate the "1 tone per morpheme" principle? If you know of any,
please let me know.  Thanks in advance,

I would be very grateful if someone could help me with bibliography

Subject:  anaphor resolution - German test corpus


For an evaluation of different anaphor resolution algorithms on German
text, I'm looking for a test corpus which is annotated with
coreference information created by human analysis. I know about the
corpus which has been developed for the coreference task evaluation
during Message Understanding Conference 6 (MUC 6), but it's in English
language and hence not suitable for my aims.

Does anybody know about a similar corpus for the German language?
Thanks a lot for yuor help.
